Nissan Motor Co. showcased the Nissan Hyper Tourer, the third in its series of advanced electric-vehicle (EV) concept. The new concept will feature at the Japan Mobility Show starting October 25.
The Nissan Hyper Tourer combines the essence of omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) with various advanced technologies, including autonomous driving. The V2X (Vehicle-to- Everything) functionality and high-capacity battery also allow electricity to be supplied to homes, stores, and offices, while traveling and on various business occasions.
The exterior, which conveys a sense of comfort within, is composed of smooth body panels and sharp character lines. The sides flow diagonally from the front to the rear fender for higher aerodynamic performance and the impression of the smooth drive resulting from the combination of EV and autonomous drive. The white waistline serves as a headlight and signature lamp, while the kumiko-patterned wheels and the soft, straight body line create a premium feel beyond the concept’s class.
The interior is spacious thanks to the Nissan EV Technology Vision. There is an ultra-low center of gravity, which when combined with the vehicle’s advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel control system produces smooth and flat acceleration and deceleration.
The overhead console and lighting feature traditional Japanese kumiko and koushi patterns. The flat LED panel in the floor displays imagery of a riverbed and the sky. This help create a relaxing space where digital and nature are fused. Fully autonomous driving enables those in the driver’s seat to focus on interacting with their travel companions. The front seats can swivel 360 degrees, allowing front- and rear-seat passengers to have face-to-face discussions.
Rear-seat passengers can use a wearable display to view and operate the navigation and audio on the front-seat center display. There is an innovative AI system to monitor biometric signs—including brain waves, heart rate, breathing and perspiration.
